Anne Haworth, Chair of the General Council of the UK's Association of Teachers of Mathematics (ATM), 2015-2018

“One of the key strengths of the MathsThroughStories.orgwebsite is its extensive database of published storybooks with mathematical themes, classified according to areas of mathematics, such as place value, and to other resources. The website would be of great value to teachers who wish to enhance the learning of mathematics by the use of stories, and such teachers are encouraged to write about their experiences and develop resources, so the website will become increasingly rich as time goes on.”

There is research and work stemming back many years on using quality picture books to enrich curriculum- but you might like to dip into the more recent and well researched @MathsStories website for background and ideas. □□

@NTSCITT SCITTmonkeys....we are going to have a fine old time on Monday; looking at great storybooks with maths potential. In the meantime, check out the brilliant @MathsStories website for some initial inspiration.Have a good weekend y'all pic.twitter.com/yF1NcSVnBv

@MathsStories hi there! I'm planning a session for PGs 'how to use story to support mathematical learning in KS1 and 2'. Thanks for journal resources because their assignment links to pedagogical choices. What would be your fav books to read aloud/ act out for KS 1and 2? Mahnaz□

William Hatton, a BA Ed trainee teacher at the University of Reading (UK)

“MathsThroughStories.org provides an excellent support to me as a teacher trainee. With its vast database of recommendations for story picture books covering all areas of the Mathematics curriculum, it has never been easier to find the appropriate resources to use in my Mathematics teaching. For example, on my most recent school placement, I used the MathsThroughStories.org’s database to give me ideas on which story picture books I could use to teach Year 6 Statistics. I eventually found a book called, 'Kenley's Line Plot Graph', which I used it in my planning to enrich my mathematics teaching. MathsThroughStories.org is a resource I have referred to on my placement and will continue to do so after graduation!”
